“The Mermaid and the Parakeet: A Children’s Book Inspired by Henri Matisse is a children’s picturebook with a simple, charming original folktale about a lonely mermaid stranded by a storm, who befriends a kindly parakeet. The colorful artwork is inspired by the timeless creations of beloved French artist Henri-Emile-Benoit Matisse. The final two pages offer a little more information to children and parents about who Henri Matisse was, and what made his art style so striking and distinctive. A delightful giftbook for children and families, The Mermaid and the Parakeet is highly recommended.”
—Midwest Book Review
“Inspired by Henri Matisse’s vision of a mermaid stranded by a storm, this is a story of bravery and friendship.”
